The Avatar of Vara of Eye is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, public floggings, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.124 billion Eyeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Eyean economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,483 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eye's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eye is ranked 147,880th in the world and 756th in Eye for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 38,211.83 Standard Monetary Units.
